Wolsey’s Panel and Ubiquiti WiFi Identification
Qolsys Panel and Ubiquiti WiFi Identification
This is just an FYI/learn from my mistake, but I recently switched from an Orbi to a full Ubiquiti setup via UDMSE with a couple of U7 access points. Anyone making the transition will be amazed at the amount of network information and granular control available via UniFi.
One thing that stood out was the listing of connected devices. At first it was information overload and I wanted to identify every item connected to my network. Now Ubiquiti is fairly good at identifying everything but there are exceptions. Like the Qolsys panel is identified as a Minex Neo. When I first saw that device on UniFi I thought to myself, what the heck is that? After googling it, I ended up blocking it. After a few days, I didn’t notice any ill effects so I thought I was all good. Only a fee days later did I notice my Alarm.com wasn’t getting WiFi. I tried everything to connect but nothing worked. I eventually realized that maybe that random minix media player was in fact my Qolsys panel and sure enough, after unblocking it, it connected.
